Seems I'm not the only one who had a fit of dreaming last night but here's mine. Let me put a penny in the cinematograph...
In order to bolster the nation's deficit, George Bush decided to put America up for sale on the internet. You would go to a site that had a Google Maps-like interface where you could scroll around and zoom in and out. The country was divided into parcels of varying size depending on how dense with general stuff the land was. So you could get a large swath of land up in Montana and in LA it could get as small as say a ramp in front of a building. If the parcel wasn't already colored (i.e. bought) you could click on it and the parcel's color would be updated with your color and it would be added to your shopping cart. You could continue shopping and when you were ready you could check out a la Amazon. You didn't actually own the land or even had naming rights. It was just a bragging rights sort of thing. You could order a plaque or sign that said stuff like "Chuck's Ramp" and it could be placed on your ramp but that was about it. Of course, it sold like hot cakes.
On the way home from buying my bits of land (what computer was I on doing all this shopping if not my home computer? oh dreams), I walked into a stadium where a man was giving a seminar on prudent investment strategies like the kind late night infomercials advertize. The audience was comprised of about 90% ROTC cadets and 10% John Deer employees. So looking across the audience I saw mostly snappy uniforms and a small clump of plaid, flannel shirts and green, trucker caps.
The adventure continues...
Some time later I am at work at the lumber yard filling orders of our most popular product which was a sheet of particle board about 4'x4'x1/2" and its official product name was Max Plank.
